5/73 Former Dog Kennels with yard wall on south side

• II

Former dog-kennels and yard wall, now outbuilding. Late C18. Coursed squared pink gritstone, pantile roof with eaves course of stone slates to kennel. Single-storey 4-bay range with added 2-storey bay to rear of bay 2, the yard wall to front is approximately 2.5 metres high. Original doorway bay 1, obscured by lean-to yard shelter, in Gothick arch with interlaced glazing bars to overlight. Similar pointed chamfered surrounds with imposts to windows in bays 2, 3 and 4, bays 2 and 3 having remains of original interlaced glazing bars. Inserted doorways with single block lintels between bays 3 and 4 and far right. Brick ridge stack between bays 3 and 4. The yard wall has a doorway with large lintel, probably inserted, to right of centre, and chamfered copings. Interior: bay 4 contains a set pot and flue against the left wall, and a built-in cupboard in the end wall. The kennels were probably built by the Slingsby family of Scriven Park who kept the locally famous pack of fox hounds. The building appears to have contained a bothy for the keeper in the right end. The 2-storey bay was added at the rear in the C19, possibly when the range was converted to other uses; lean-to shelters were also built on the inside walls of the yard. The building was derelict at time of resurvey.
